RICK HILL BMW AUTO BLOG

 

A muscle-bound supercar with a flair for environmental consciousness, the BMW i8 is not one for following the rulebook. It brazenly carves its own lane, forging ahead with one foot in the present and an eye on the future.

 

It's quite clear that we a Rick Hill BMW are seriously smitten by it. Will it elicit a similar reaction from you? Make that determination by watching the video review below:

Beneath this speedster's snout, a turbo 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine holds court with both an electric motor and a 7.1-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack.

Yesterday, BMW issued a press release announcing that the company has joined President Obama's American Business Act on Climate Pledge initiative, and become one of 154 companies who have committed to ongoing action on climate change.

If you haven't yet experienced the all-new 2016 BMW 7 Series, we at Rick Hill BMW recommend you take a seat and get comfortable. This is one whip that is most certainly worth every moment of your time.

 

And here to deliver all the pertinent details regarding this big-bodied beaut is Auto Trader UK Senior Road Tester, Paul Bond. Tag along with him now:

One really cannot go wrong with either of the 7 Series' engine options. Even the base 740i is quite the beast.

 

Propelled by a turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder, the 740i pushes out a plenteous…

 

Arguably one of the more exciting aspects of buying a new car, the choice of color is an important one. And evidently, our esteemed German automaker agrees.

 

The video below demonstrates what BMW considers the five most exciting colors on its electrifying four-door, the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Get a load of this:

What an amazing range of hues, huh? We definitely dig them all.

 

We also dig its drivetrain. Even the entry-level 428i is an absolute monster, its turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder churning out a colossal 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque.

We're gonna get this out of the way: we're having a hard time not dropping expletives about how awesome the BMW M4 GTS is. You can see the picture--how can we not? Fortunately, while we are passionate about all things performance, we're professionals and will therefore abstain from dropping such plebian bombs.

Although luxury is its focus, BMW also has a long, proud history of delivering exciting performance cars under its "M" sub brand. In recent years, we've seen some pretty impressive additions to the stable, among them the new four-door M3, and the two-door M4. Now, it's time for the M2 to bow, and we're pretty stoked.

We don't know of many people who love Mondays, and we understand. It's hard when the weekend ends and a new work week begins, all five workdays staring you in the face. But Mondays don't have to be dreaded! It can feel gratifying to get things accomplished, and that's just what the BMW X1 motivates us to do.

In our last blog post we sang the praises of the 425 horsepower BMW M3 and how it played a starring role in the new Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible 5 - Rogue Nation, but today we are focusing on another star of the film, the 2016 BMW 7 Series. It isn't enough that this car can get up to 540 horsepower depending on which trim level you choose, but it also has impeccable style that can only be found in a BMW model.

There is a lot of buzz around the 2015 BMW M3 and only some of it is because of its role in the new Mission: Impossible film, Mission: Impossible 5 - Rogue Nation. The rest of the buzz is due to its impressive specifications, such as 425 horsepower, 406 pound-feet of torque, a 3.0-liter engine, and, oh yes, it also gets top speed of 156 miles per hour. While we don't expect our Kingsport area customers to drive 156 miles per hour, nor do we recommend it, we do understand that having a powerful, sophisticated, and beautiful car is…
